WATCH THIS VIDEO - it's an incredible statement of independence and freedom. And people made this statement without looting, rioting or desecration of national monuments. #silentmajority

Looks like a LOT of fingers being flipped at authorities right here! Good for them!
There are no illegal fireworks.
Just undocumented fireworks.
Looks like a lot of those $1200 checks went to fireworks sellers this year
I live out in the cornfields of Flyover, USA and can see the fireworks from different towns from my back yard
In the 12 years I’ve lived here, I’ve NEVER seen and heard so many going off as I did last night
Yeah sounded like a war zone near me. Guess it does remind you of battle for freedom
Same here, but I live in the Upstate of SC. There were several town-worthy fireworks displays all over the place last night. The line to get into the fireworks stand yesterday was backed up pretty far, too.

They’re really gonna be shell-shocked when the real stuff starts, and they’re going to deserve Everything they get.
I went for a walk last night and it was rockin’
At least triple the amount of “illegal” commercial grade mortars going off all around me. People in my New Mexico ‘hood were having none of Queen Covid’s BS. It was glorious!
Excellent point.
My city canceled its fireworks display, but the people sent several FU’S into the sky for a good 3 hours. It was beautiful!! Especially with the moon rising. So my city looked just like the one in the twitter vid.
Some states banned any fireworks...even the ground fountains and sparklers...so folks went across state lines and brought them home.
You can get mortars in my state and some folks had big professional booners while most had the slightly smaller ones.
We all had a blast!
Surprised they didn’t fly real low so they could make an “incident” between the aircraft and fireworks.
Don’t get excited.
This Twitter post is a classic example of not getting the memo. The fireworks story is a month old. Fireworks have been going off like never before in cities across the US since May. The left has been claiming for weeks, in dozens of articles, that it is a protest against the killing of George Floyd. It’s been all over my local Next Door site, too, including republished articles by navel-gazing Wokesters claiming that fireworks in Boston and Brooklyn are a big protest message.
Now, the day AFTER July 4, I see two posts on FR claiming that the fireworks LAST NIGHT, and ONLY last night (been asleep since Memorial Day much?) are some great conservative cry of defiance.
I don’t buy either theory. We’ve had fireworks going off here since Memorial day. In my neighborhood, it’s all minorities doing it, as is the case every year, because that’s who lives here. They vote Democrat if they vote at all, but aren’t rabidly political. The police do nothing and everyone knows it. The idea that anyone is defying a potential $50,000 fine is idiot-grade goofy. The laws exist only on paper.
I think it’s just because people have nothing else to do.
Even in mellow Orange County CA illegal skyrockets lit up the sky last night.
My wife has a lot of relatives in a neighboring state to yours, and all of them said the fireworks were spectacular for several hours.
My next door neighbor must have spent a grand on fireworks, they went on for what seemed like hours, the big ones.
“In the 12 years I’ve lived here, I’ve NEVER seen and heard so many going off as I did last night”
Same here in the suburbs of Tampa. It began Friday night. Last night was the crescendo. It went on for hour upon hour. The skies all around were lit continuously for hours and there were more large explosions than I can ever remember since moving here more than 10 years ago.
Delaware blew up last night.
Check out today’s Sunday morning talk show thread. Posters from across the country are mentioning the fireworks all over, even if the state banned it.
King Carney outlawed fireworks here in Delaware. About 9 pm last night, almost through midnight, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
My dog, God love her, sat by my chair and looked at me with pleading eyes to make it stop. She got over it but NEVER has this small state been so loud on July 4.
The city of Lewes Delaware even held a 4th of July parade on its own once King Carney shut down parades.
Yes, this country went BOOM last night as Americans are sick of this virus which is at its end.
BOOM!
